ST LOUIS, June 3-A local paper states
that the Mobile and Ohio Railroad have
drawn the color line in The excursion rates
TO The meeting of the Knights of Labor in
Mobile August Slh. The. ticket secures the
privilege to particular class. shutting out
tho great crowds. The way this is done IS
by stamping the ticket colored so that none
but citizons of the African race will be able
10 avail themselves of the rate. This oavors
of unlawful discrimination against the
white man, but it is argued that none but
colored men will want to go to Mobile in
August. However the ticket scalper is
grumbling and will probably take the case
in hand
